Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOVE these! We buy only organic produce which does not tend to last very long and when you pay as much as we do for organic you don't want it going bad so fast. My favorite thing about these is that it keeps my lettuce crisp and fresh for weeks not days. I've been able to buy bunches of lettuce and keep them in the fridge for several weeks. I keep the second container for strawberries, asparagus, blueberries, etc. and it keeps them fresh for way longer now. Not only that but it prevents them from molding after only a few days so I'm not worried about having to eat my strawberries in two days now. Will definitely be buying more in the future. Totally worth every penny and super easy to wash and dry." —Jessica

Promising review: "I LOVE THESE PANTS. I bought them on a whim during COVID-19 because I needed more lounge pants because who want to wear real pants for working from home?? They far exceeded my expectations. They are wildly comfortable for sleeping, wearing around the house, running errands, etc. The pockets are fairly deep and the waistband is very comfortable. It has both elastic and a tie string but the elastic is perfect for my waist without pinching, haven't needed to use the string to keep them up. I haven't washed them yet but I've been wearing them all week and they haven't stretched noticeably. For only $14-$15 a pair I'm considering dedicating my wardrobe to these pants. Highly recommend." —Maddie

Promising review: "BUY IT. Trust me. I haven’t been on a 'sleep mask journey' for the perfect one like many others have but I read millions of reviews & when I saw the one for this mask I was sold. It is the BEST sleep mask. It’s so soft and smooth. It’s like memory foam so when you press on it it comes back up, but conforms to you and your face. Side sleepers: (that’s me) it NEVER MOVES! It stays on great. OH and there’s no Velcro sticking to your hair, YAY! It’s a simple band that can move to make it loose or tighter. The eye part doesn’t look deep, but trust me you CAN open your eyes with it on. It’s pitch black relief. It’s the best mask you’ll get, trust me." —Kendra

Hey, there's my face again! This mask has the approval of a *ton* of runners and athletes in its reviews, but also runners IRL. I run in Central Park four days a week and I am constantly seeing other runners in this mask. I have two of them in my own run rotation, and I'm impressed not only by how well they stay in place and don't get over-sweaty and gross on long runs, but by how well they wash up and maintain their shape. The straps are super soft on your ears, too. I've gotten to used to straps chafing on longer runs that I was surprised by what a difference this made. I also recently traveled cross country by plane wearing mine, and a lot of other reviewers praised it for being comfy on long flights! I gifted one of these to my dad for Christmas, too, and it's his go-to for walks and errand running. It's just an overall easier mask to breathe in (while still maintaining a tight fit and keeping the people around you safe!).
Promising review: "LOVE THESE MASKS. Sit more toward your jawline and provides comfort while working out. I use this mask when I ref soccer and when I work out and would HIGHLY recommend if involved in sports. Holds it shape and doesn't slide around like other potential masks. It sits on the ears instead of behind you head, which I prefer. LOVE THESE MASKS so much, between two people, we have six of them." —Alyssa

A heads up that this works *super* well for some reviewers, but not all — note that this is meant for non antireflective-coated lenses, and the instructions for use are very specific. To apply, spray a small amount on both sides of your lenses, and use your fingers to rub it across the whole area. Let it sit for a full minute, then wipe with a dry soft cloth. Once they're fully dry, you should be raring to go!
Promising review: "Due to the pandemic, my job had required all of the employees to wear mask and of course public places. My only problem as someone who wears safety glasses to work and glasses all day is that if i wear a mask MY GLASSES FOG! So when I looked on Amazon and decided to chose Optiz 55 it was my BEST CHOICE! I literally only have to spray each lens ONE TIME and rub in a circular motion with a SOFT CLOTH and I'm good all day. I use it on all my eye wear, everyday glasses and safety glasses. I'm all around satisfied because Fog Gone really saved me a lot of stress. I recommend anyone who has this problem to chose it... You won't be disappointed!" —Snowy Day

Promising review: "WOW!!! I brushed the cat with our regular brush and got a bit of fur..... then I used 'THE GLOVE'..... I got enough fur off that cat to knit a wig for my bald head! Now I just gotta learn how to knit. AMAZING!!!! The cat purrs and seems to enjoy the process or maybe she just likes all the new attention she gets from everyone wanting to see how much fur we can get off her..... poor cats looks like she's lost 10 pounds. Best of this whole thing is that there isn't cat hairballs all over our hardwood floors. We can pick up the cat without a cloud of hair trailing behind us. This product is every bit as good as described. If you have a cat you need these gloves. FYI — they also work well on sleeping teenagers ... but they don't seem to appreciate it as much as the cat." —GS

Promising review: "ABSOLUTELY best support cushion I've used! We have so many aids/cushions/creams/new beds over three years, and an endless amount of physical therapy devices I've purchased online or even online with a prescription and nothing I've got has ever just, 'WORKED!' right out if the box. It wasn't a cushion that sat awkward in the chair, I didn't feel like I was 40-something going on 90, and it didn't feel like 'it will probably keep my tailbone part from not feeling as bad' — NOPE THIS CUSHION INSTANTLY CRADLED MY BODY IN A WAY THAT SUPPORTED FAR MORE THAN MY TAILBONE!!!! IT ACTUALLY HELPED ME SIT. THEN AFTER A SPELL, GET UP GRACEFULLY!!!!! I always have to get up so careful to lean forward and release my coccyx pressure first, before I can even get up. THIS PILLOW TRULY KEEPS ALL PRESSURE OFF MY COCCYX AND SPINE. I PLAN ON GETTING A FEW MORE TO HAVE SEVERAL PLACES. This is truly an item worth far more than its retail price.

This tool also helps soften skin by gently exfoliating as you use it!
Promising review: "Okay, I have very dry sensitive skin, exacerbated by the use of Retin-A. I have had facials with dermaplaning, and bought this as a lark. They arrived, and I used it on DRY skin. No shaving cream, no water, just dry, dry, dry skin. I also used it very gently, and in downward strokes avoiding the eyes, nose or mouth (though I did my upper lip and the strays around my eyebrows) and obviously not sawing back and forth or slashing motions. Used gently, it took off an entire (thin!) layer of dead skin, peach fuzz and who knows what off my face, and it was AWESOME. My skin is glowing, smooth, peach fuzz free and I know any product I'm using will soak in better, too. Highly recommend, will make a part of my regular beauty routine. I would not suggest using this more than once a week or even once a month if you have sensitive skin, but it is WAY BETTER and WAY LESS TRAUMATIC than scrubbing, using a rough wash cloth, or exfoliators on your skin. This is gentle, no muss, no fuss. A+++." —Jane

Promising review: "I LOVE THIS TOASTER! It makes great toast. I can’t believe that I’ve gotten so excited over a toaster. I haven’t been able to find a durable, reasonably priced toaster that could accommodate long slices or bagels, etc. Additionally, I have had to be gluten-free for the last 10 years and gluten-free bread has to be carefully toasted in order to be good. All the toasters I have ever owned had those fragile, thin wires that heat up and glow to toast the bread. And when they broke, which they inevitably did, the bread toasted unevenly. THIS TOASTER has unique coils in the bottom, so that you would expect unevenly toasted bread. BUT NO! It’s the most perfectly toasted bread I’ve had in 30 years." —Byron Trist

I own one of these babies and have faithfully used it every week for more than two years, especially now that quarantine has me making elaborate ~at home~ breakfasts for myself. I get perfectly medium-boiled eggs every time. I even bought one for my parents so I could spread its majesty to them as well (but also mostly so I could use it when I come to visit, if we're being real). Some reviews note that the alarm on it is a little loud, but the new models have significantly decreased the volume and they play a happy song instead!
Promising review: "PERFECT hard-boiled eggs! Okay, I NEVER write as much as I have on this product as it made me a believer that if I can do it, anyone can with this little miracle of a hard-boiled egg maker!!!! I am the worst hard boil egg maker in the WORLD! I not only ordered one but four additional for my children and aging parents after for the first time made the PERFECT hard-boiled egg!" —Rico

I personally always wear period-proof undies when I go on runs on my period and it has been a MASSIVE godsend. As much as I love pulling a fellow runner aside for a "butt check" on my aggressive-flow days, it is SO NICE to have underwear like this as a back-up to catch anything that might shift or overflow from a pad. Plus, unlike your regular undies, you don't have to scrub the blood out of these — they're designed so it rinses right out in the sink with soap and warm water, and can get tossed in the washer and dryer from there.
Psst — reviewers love these undies, but suggest sizing up!
Promising review: "AMAZING!!!! Literally my best purchase ever! I AM NEVER GOING BACK TO PADS OR TAMPONS!!!! Size 18 Target jeans and a 4X was a little tight around the legs and a little loose on my belly upon first 30 seconds of wear (even after an accidental dryer drying) and then INSTANT comfort. I am not kidding. I contacted Bambody to see what other styles they suggested and received 100% perfect picks for my body type! I seriously cannot rave enough about them! Plus they are sooooo much more affordable and sturdy than the competition companies I've bought from. One pair is about the cost of a good pad or tampon pack, but with zero pain, discomfort, or landfill waste. It's truly a no brainer — anything that makes a period comfortable AND all that!" —CBJC

Promising review: "Years ago a massage therapist I went to used a cream at my temples that helped greatly with headaches and nausea. I have tried to find that scent for years. THIS IS IT!! I use it daily on my temples and the back of neck just below my hairline. It helps 100% with the nausea I suffer from meds I take. Many of my headaches I can prevent from going to a migraine by applying again at start of headache. I take so many meds because of autoimmune diseases that I like not having to pop another pill for my headaches. I am the most skeptical person you will find when it comes to homeopathic or oils etc., but this works!!" —DVS

Perhaps most importantly for anyone out there planning to go full Leslie Knope on these is that they're designed not to bleed through thin pages!
Promising review: "THE BEST QUALITY PENS FOR AN EXTREMELY AFFORDABLE PRICE!!! I’ve been looking for markers thin enough to use for notes and for my planner and found these. All the markers or pens I looked at offered either multiple of the same color or only five different colors or were way too expensive. These were AN ABSOLUTE STEAL! I highly recommend these for anyone wanting to use on a calendar/planner because they don’t bleed through either! I was so impressed with the assortment of colors this pack had because they weren’t the typical colors seen in a package of markers you would find at the store at an affordable price like these!! I’ve used them for writing notes for my online class and they don’t smudge or dry out quick AT ALL which is hard to find in a pack of markers. I am sooooo happy with these and highly recommend anyone wanting to get a beautiful assortment of colors for a very affordable price!!" —Amazon Customer

You can also clean it by soaking it in water and leaving it to dry overnight! RIP, all those harsh washcloths you were dirtying up before. I recently was just gifted one of these, and it is legit astonishing how well it works — one of my favorite mascaras is so notoriously difficult to get off that even when I *think* I took care of it, I'll sometimes wake up with smudges under my eyes. This gets it off without even rubbing!! I just soak the towel and put light pressure on my eyeballs and the mascara wipes right off! Has saved me a lot of time (and dread, TBH — do you ever put off taking off your make up when you're like, woof, this is going to take a century?). Highly highly recommend!
Promising review: "THIS. THING. IS. AMAZING. I have literally never had clearer skin. It does exactly what it says it does, erases your makeup.

Nutpods are equally delicious in coffee or tea, and hot chocolate. I just bought the Pumpkin Spice Nutpods and tucked inside the box was a note with a sneak peek of the exciting new flavors coming out in time for the holiday season! Peppermint Mocha and Dark Chocolate Orange?!?! YES!!! Nutpods are rich and creamy with no added sugar. Completely vegan, which is what led me to try them in the first place.

Promising review: "I misplaced my Samsung wireless earbuds and went on Amazon looking for a replacement. Usually, I don't believe the ratings or hype, but I decided to give these a try because I really can't live without wireless earbuds. This is a real rating so listen carefully....THESE EARBUDS ARE SIMPLY THE BEST PERIOD!!! I paired these up with my Samsung phone in seconds, without reading even the quick start guide. I did glance at the packaging and I noticed that they said WATERPROOF. Again, I didn't believe it because for sub $50 you don't usually get everything as advertised. Seeing that Sony, Bose (who I love) and Samsung are selling the same type earbuds with less advertised features for hundreds of dollars more. Well, I decided to wear these in the shower — since I purchased the Amazon extended warranty I figured if anything goes wrong I am covered. Well I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!! They performed flawlessly — hence my long review!! I am totally satisfied with my purchase and you will be too. YOU CANNOT GO WRONG WITH THESE EARBUDS!!!" —John TC

Promising review: "We are foster parents to a LOT of kittens, and while we wait for them to find their forever homes, even though we clean the litter twice daily, things can get smelly. I was certainly skeptical about this candle because all the reviews heralded it as some sort of miracle product. But it totally is. The first night I came home that it had been delivered, my partner had lit it and I walked into a house that DID NOT SMELL LIKE CAT despite there being eleven kittens actively everywhere. Poop smell - gone. Kitten fart smell - GONE. General messy kitten smell - GONE. We like keeping our house clean and safe for the little ones in our care, and this helps us feel a little more sane while we take care of our own cats, and take care of the ones still looking for their families. We will continue buying FOR SURE. The candy cane smell is nice: not overwhelming, not too sweet. I'm looking forward to trying new ones as the seasons change." —Elizabeth Lincoln

This also comes in other pretty colors, but I am especially partial to this one because I bought it for my parents (their kitchen is entirely pink and one of my favorite places on Earth), and this was SO EASY to use — not to mention super safe! I'm a big weenie about fire (LOL, self-preservation) so I've always stuck to extended arm gas lighters, but this is much better for the environment (plus cuter), so I feel a lot better about using it.
Promising review: "BUY IT NOW. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEEEE this item. Firstly, it's rechargeable, so no more purchasing of matchboxes, or of liquid to put in the click starters, which is way better for being green! I also love that it has an on/off switch. so I never have to worry about something bumping it and it turning on, or me grabbing it funny and turning it on while I pick it up. I've never had to charge yet, and its been working for regularly lighting Bath & Body three-wick candles since my purchase earlier this month. I no longer have to deal with multiple matches to light one candle, or the matchstick breaking and needing to hold it close to the flame. The product offers plenty of distance for lighting wicks, I purchased the rose gold version, and the color is very pretty, and the item is pretty compact. It's just slightly larger than a pilot multi-ink pen." —Chelsea

Psst — this tool is double-sided, so you can choose the thickness of your wing, and comes with two stamp pens — one for each eye!
Promising review: "Let me start by saying this isn't my first cat-eye rodeo. I've tried the taping method, tried normal liquid liner, plastic winged stamping devices, stencils, all of it! So when I saw this I thought, meh, why not give it a shot... It's not like my hopes were high since nothing else has been efficient or worked as it should. Well, this gem arrived and I immediately had to try it out, all while laughing at how terrible this would probably turn out ... but to my surprise I put the left cat-eye on first and it was perfect aside from needing to connect it to my current liner. I thought this was a fluke and did the right eye ... again, it came out clean and perfect! I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN ABLE TO DO A CAT-EYE IN UNDER 10 MINUTES ... LET ALONE THE two MINUTES THIS TOOK TO DO! There was no sloppy streaks that I had to touch up or anything you would expect. Just a clean crisp line. I love that it has two ends as well, one with the stamp and one with a thin tip so you can connect your liner and cat-eye. I can now do a cat-eye EVERY day and everyone can think I spend hours doing my make-up in the morning." —LadyMeow

Promising review: "Oh my gosh.... of course my cat decides to go on a PEE SPREE during the COVID pandemic when we are stuck inside our home for days on end!!!!! My cat peed on my mattress, the carpet, and two couches, and since the state went on lockdown, we couldn't have a carpet/upholstery place come in to clean (and even then, they couldn't guarantee anything against CAT URINE, which they say is the worst possible stain/odor to remove). This was our only hope. Well. This worked. It WORKED, PEOPLE. I sprayed the mattress down, soaked it good, soaked a rag in the stuff and laid it on top to THOROUGHLY saturate it. Then I soaked up as much of the residual and let it air dry. and then I BURIED my face in there, punched the mattress to see if any stink 'poofed' up into my face ... and nope. Only the wonderful bubble-gum type scent of this spray was left. So I'm totally happy." —AmazonReviewerJen

Promising review: "Quarantine made me do it but I’m not sorry. Don’t bother buying the expensive name brand Orbeez — these are essentially the same and work great. My kids LOVE these! A million uses and great for all ages of kids (except for babies). We have filled up a huge bin and used cups to scoop and play. We have put them in the water table outside. We have used a funnel to fill up balloons and make homemade squishy stress balls. We have made foot spas. We have talked about filling a baby wading pool and lounging, but I’m not willing to buy enough. 😂TIPS — a small amount of these goes a LONG way. About half the beads in this container will fill up half of a Rubbermaid garage storage tub. Just pour them into your container with a large amount of water and wait, wait, wait. Did I mention WAIT — It will take ONE TO TWO DAYS for them to fully expand, so plan ahead!!! We’ve gotten hours of fun and I’ve also heard they’re good for gardens, so you can dispose of them there when you’re done (though you might want to do your own research on that one!)" —Deeber
